Buellia is a genus of fungi in the family Caliciaceae. The fungi are usually part of a crustose lichen.^[2] In this case, the lichen species is given the same name as the fungus. But members may also grow as parasites on lichens (lichenicolous).^[2] The algae in the lichen is always a member of the genus Trebouxia.^[2]

Lichens in the genus are commonly called disc lichens,^[3] or button lichens.^[4]^: 229 The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 450 species.^[5]

Genetic studies indicate that the genus Amandinea and Buellia may be the same,^[6] although this is not widely accepted.^[7]
